Understandable given that it was his first interview. When I first spoke with frontman Matt James, he was a bit apprehensive. Watching the growth of these rising stars has been incredible. The ride has only gotten more exciting with each passing release. Hard Rock Daddy jumped on the Blacktop Mojo bandwagon early on in the band’s career.
They not have been headlining on this tour, but they performed as if they were, and will be in the future.ĬLICK HERE to read the review of the show.īEST SMALL VENUE PERFORMANCE: Blacktop Mojo at Woodbury Brewing Company, Woodbury, CT There’s a reason why Shinedown is one of the elite rock bands of this generation.Īn added bonus of the show was seeing Badflower as an opener. Not only was it my favorite Bethel Woods show ever, it was among my favorite concerts of all-time (dating back to 1982). It was unlike any show that I’ve seen at the venue before. Big, bold, loud, energetic, and wildly entertaining. Though Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is an amphitheater with covered seating in front of the grassy hill (for general admission seating), Shinedown’s performance reminded me of the arena shows of my youth. It’s hard to a imagine a better show breaking the barrier than Shinedown. This summer was the first to feature modern hard rock acts. Up until this summer, the only rock acts that performed there were fell squarely into the classic rock category. To be fair, there is only one large venue nearby. Though they tour regularly, this past summer was the first time that they came anywhere close to my area.
